Boston Marathon 2013--Team Eric Raised $10,000!!!

Matt McConnell and Minori Shimizu ran in the 2013 Boston Marathon to raise money for the Dana Farber Cancer Institute in honor of Eric. They ran the whole way with Eric on their backs. They looked great at mile 16, but given the bombing tragedy they had to stop just short of the finish line. Things were chaotic in downtown Boston, but both Minori and Matt were safe.
